Solar Panel Installations Grow By 53%, With The Recurrent Increase In Electricity Bills

In 2021, the water crisis influenced a 25% increase in the electricity bills of Brazilians, a factor that increased the adoption of residential solar energy by 50%. At the beginning of November, the installations of solar panels for energy capture grew by 53%, with the rising electricity bill. According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the price set by the national electricity agency of Brazil accumulated a 30% increase in the last 12 months.

“The evolution of this market confirms that more and more Brazilian consumers are becoming aware of the need to seek sustainable solutions to face the high electricity rates and climate change,” explains the CEO of the solar portal, Rodolfo Meyer.

Electricity Bills Are Expected To Rise In 2022

As electricity bills are expected to continue rising until next year, it is anticipated that the solar energy system will keep accelerating. Electricity bills will have an average increase of 21.04% in 2022, according to the National Electric Energy Agency.

“We are in rapid growth. For 2022, even the increase in equipment prices should not stop solar energy in Brazil,” says Meyer.

Investments in solar energy in Brazil have been growing since 2012, acquiring over R$ 60 billion in new investments. According to the Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association, solar generation has avoided the emission of 13.6 million tons of CO2 in electricity generation.

The use of photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil is mainly located in the states of Minas Gerais, Bahia, Ceará, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Santa Catarina. For industries, using renewable energy is a way to “lock in a fixed expense, which is the electricity bill.”
